i for one agree with JD.
well said mate, all this crap about liverpool spending this huge amount of money and us being under pressure. what a load of crap. even fulham & sunderland have spent nearly as much went we take into account who we have got rid off and to what amount we have recouped.
for my view its Chelsea and utd who have spent the most over the last 5 years, yes OK we do spend every summer but just take a look at what money we get back.
the money i know we recouped was ruffly
3.5 Garcia
2.7 pongolla
7.5 Bellamy
6.1 cisse
4.0 Gonzalez
1.5 / Pauletta
thats already a recoup of £ 25.3 mill plus players out of the likes of fowler, zenden, carson on loan, dudek, le tallec and other to help keep the wage bill half sensible too.
all this media witch hunt that we have been heavy spenders is crap, i also keep hearing that we paid 27 mill for torres that is crap. we have paid 20.2 mill for torres that could rise up ton 26 mill.
total spent was
5mill benyauoun
20.2 mill torres
11.5 mill babel
5 mill Lucas leiva
2 mill leto
plus other youth contracts and reserve players and the French 2nd choice keeper for 1.5 mill
close est spend at £ 45.2 - £ 25.3 recoup = a sped on no more than £ 20 mill ;
so for us spending a neat 40 mill straight on new players was a load of Shiite end of............ we should have added a new center half we might live to regret this move..............
